A decidedly odd-looking building, it had grandeur with its marble columns and gilt spires. The beliefs represented by that impressive structure seemed curious to Ryan, a lifelong Catholic, but the people who held them were honest and hardworking, and fiercely loyal to their country, because they believed in what America stood for. Tom Clancy
(Stereotyping) is only for those without the imagination to see people as they are instead of being like someone else they understand. Tom Clancy
